Thanks for the welcome, F_J_Woods.  I really loved my Canon gear.  I've owned several film based Canon cameras and many Canon DSLRs.  By the time I decided to try mirrorless, I owned a 7D MII,  a 5D MIII and mostly L (luxury glass) full-frame lenses. Canon cameras were very easy to operate since I had owned them since the late 1970s and they always felt good in my hands.  My only reason for switching to mirrorless was weight, size, and EVF.  Because I always like to have a camera with me and I also like to hike (or travel) with a camera, the bulkiness and weight of my Canon gear became a real pain for me (literally).  I use my Olympus gear more than my Fuji because Olympus is more compact and maybe a bit lighter.  I do like my X-T2 since it's quite light and the controls are easy to use but because it's sensor is an aps-c, the lenses can be larger--just like my canon lenses were.  The big difference though is that the Canon white lenses are still heavier so the Fuji shooting experience is more comfortable for me and I can carry the 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 in my hands for longer periods without feeling fatigued.  Some things that bother me about the X-T2 is the "sometimes" wormy grain, the slower autofocus tracking (even with the booster grip), and the fewer fast lens choices.  The Fuji 100-400mm lens is slower than Canon's 100-400mm and yet it is as large, if not slightly larger than the Canon lens.  Things like that bother me.  But, I still prefer shooting with the Fuji gear.  And something that I learned owning Canon gear for so many years was patience--camera companies really do want to improve their products and keep their customers happy.

dfaye, I read your email too and you hit the nail on the head.  And, milandro, I had forgotten that my computer had an SD card reader in the back of it!  Since I use mirrorless exclusively now I will definitely use that reader also.  I had forgotten about it because I mostly used compact flash cards in the past.  Once I learn to do something a certain way, I tend to forget about other options.  
 
I've never introduced myself to the forum so I plan to send an email doing so.

I signed on to this forum several months ago but then did nothing.  Recently, I had a problem with updating my X-T2's firmware and some of the members helped me resolve my issue.  Since I am still learning about my camera and really have many questions about it, I thought, why not join this forum?  
 
I have enjoyed photography for many years and primarily used Canon equipment for at least the last 30.  Several years ago I began to explore other systems, mostly because I wanted to decrease the amount of weight I was carrying.  I could have switched to lighter Canon equipment but I was curious about mirrorless systems and so I began to explore Olympus and Fujifilm.  I currently photograph with Olympus micro 4/3rds and Fujifilm equipment.  Both are lighter systems and have many excellent lenses. I'm excited that Fuji is adding an 80mm 1:1 macro lens since I enjoy macro photography.  Speaking of which, my photography interests are very broad.  I love to photograph nature, travel, sports, architecture, etc.  I love having a camera in my hands and carry one with me most of the time--another reason to use light, compact, equipment.  I look forward to reading posts in this forum, learn more about my Fuji camera, and, hopefully, also contribute to this forum.
